View 11 RepliesThe headrests on my Tiguan are stuck fully extended. Somehow the push button on drivers side is missing and trying the inner lever is not working. How I can get the headrests down ?
View 4 RepliesI recently bought a brand new Toyota Camry LE 2014.5 and yesterday I noticed that the Fuel Filler Neck is very loose. It is so loose that I can move it using my little finger. Is this normal Or should I take it to the dealership? The car has 300 Miles on the odometer and yesterday was the first time that I filled it with gas.
View 8 RepliesI put the rear seats all the way down to haul some gear, and when I went to raise the rear passenger seat back up, I found it would not go back up. The middle shoulder belt is stuck in position. I removed the plastic clip, unbolted the metal frame, tried to jiggle what I could with a screwdriver, to no avail. I used to use this belt for the kid seat, so perhaps keeping it in position for so long did something to the linkage.
The car has 80k on it, 2000 Passat V6
I noticed that mine covering on the rear headrests come loose, so I took them into the dealer to get warranty replacements. The dealer replaced them, but out of their own stock; they did not file a claim with corporate because the service manager said VWoA is refusing to do so because they consider this damage to be owner caused. In reality though it's a very bad design, prone to failure.
View 1 Replies82000 kilometres on my 2012 v. 16 inch wheels. Serviced at the dealership right on schedule since new. Last service at 80000 they said the tires are at 2/32 tread depth and recommended replacement. Michelin energy savers, original tires. My monthly driving is only around 600 km so I decided to wait till the spring to change them.
View 19 RepliesI've been noticing severe power loss lately . I know the 12 camry i4 has a bit of lag when acceleration but it's a bit worse now . I do have weapon r header , injen intake and magna flow muffler. I've cleaned the intake filter but sometimes the car feels as though it doesn't want to go then it does. I have to push the pedal down hard . I also have res delete.
View 9 RepliesOk so my car is 5 speed and 2.8 30v V6, I bought an Advance auto parts Axle about a year ago and it has already stopped performing as new. Its clicking and yadayda my car is pulling left with severe shakes sometimes and I need to know what a quality part is. As I look through the ECS website i see OEM at $500, if i had to buy those, i may have to let the car go. And the other brands I've never heard of before so I am hesitant to buy now, and don't want to spend the money only to have to replace in a year again.
View 6 RepliesMy 2006 GX was purchased with a torn second row, middle shoulder belt. The replacement belt just came in the mail today. I plan to tear into it this weekend, but before I do I was just wondering if any of you have any words of wisdom? It's kind of a weird, isolated problem, but you never know.
View 1 RepliesFor the life of me, I can't figure out how to adjust the shoulder height of the seatbelt on my 06 Treg . The drawings in the owners manual don't look anything like the real thing.
View 3 RepliesI might be buying a 14 Camry tomorrow. I test drove it the other day and had it looked at by belle tire. They said the rear tires are choppy causing noisy driving. On the highway it sounds really noisy in the front of the vehicle. Everything else checked ok on the inspection but I was trying to find some wheels that will fit the Camry. 5x114 which my parents have a 95 lexus es300 that has 5x114 wheels. Although the tires are 205 65 15. Do I could put those on and will they clear everything to be able to fit?
View 6 RepliesAm I the only one who has to add 10 psi a week to his tires? I have the stock GLX wheels from 2001 model year, and found out a while back that they are actually painted. The paint flakes off, and there's a bit of corrosion on the bead as well causing persistent leaks. When I have tires changed, my mechanic smooths off the wheels with a grinding tool and often applies some sort of gooey adhesive to maintain a seal, but it doesn't seem to work for long.
View 5 RepliesHappened to me twice today, engine wouldn't start, message on MFD was "Parking Brake Fault" and the engine would not start. I read through he owners manual looking for a solution, and the engine finally restarted and I was off on my merry way.
About two hours later, on another errand, this time I started down the road, the engine died, I tried a re-start, got the same "Parking Brake Fault" message and this time the engine would not start. Tow truck is going after the car right now. This leaves me a bit frustrated why a parking brake issue would kill the engine.
2008 Passat Komfort...
I have a 2000 V6 full motion passat wagon. Was having oil leaks from the engine that caused the car to smoke. Took it to the mechanic, needed to get into the engine block and since it was at 92,000+ miles they said it would be wise to replace timing belt and water pump to save funds later. However 2 months later, my ABS light and Brake warning light came on and continued to do so intermittently. Took it in, they hooked it to their computer couldn't find a thing we played this game for a month. Had to have emissions done, check engine light came on in addition to ABS they did emission test (w/o clearing the codes) the car pasted. Could these problems be attributed to the timing belt replacement. Car was great never had a hitch before they touched the engine.
View 3 RepliesTonite on the drive home it was about 10 F and once my car was up to temp, I put my foot into it, I felt the car hesitate a bit, the CEL flashed a few times and went off. Could the cold temp cause that or is it more likely a bad coil?
View 6 RepliesI had a ripped drivers side CV boot and had my indy replace the axle with a new Raxle. ~200 miles after the replacement the wheel bearing on that side went south. I shugged it off and had it replaced. Well, after 200 miles on the new bearing, it has also failed (100 miles from home). I gotta believe the 2 bearing fails are related to the new axle, but I don't understand how!

there is a misfire code in plugs/wires/coil...one of those...but car isn't really running rough. the big prob i notice is when you start pushing accelerator, it wants to shift to 2nd even at like 5mph...can't be normal. can that be related to the misfire code showing up?
the car 07 passat wagon fsi auto value edition.. This is my first winter in Maine and I've noticed by 35 degrees F and colder when vehicle is at operating temp and then I use the cabin blower say 72 degrees or hotter on fan speed 2; causes engine temp to drop maybe 10-15 degrees. Car reaches operating temp quickly! And coolant concentration seems right!
View 2 RepliesI'm set on having the European parking light feature (when the car is parked and you walk away from it). For those of you not familiar with it, by changing the Instrument Cluster coding from a 2 (USA) to either a 1 or 4 (UK or Great Britain), you can turn the car off, hit the left turn signal assuming you are parked on the right side of the street, and after getting out and locking it the 194 amber front bulb and the LED red rear ring stays on. This aids in traffic seeing your car parked on the side of the road.
Problem is that once you change the country, you get this in the ABS Module:
Address 03: ABS Brakes Labels: 3C0-614-095-C2.clb
Control Module Part Number: 3C0 614 095 S HW: 3C0 614 095 S
Component and/or Version: ESP 440 C2 H015 0004
Software Coding: 0013752
[Code] ....
What changes need to be made in this module to avoid this? The pop-up window in the coding section doesn't say anything about different countries so I'm not sure which numbers need changed.
I have a 2010 Santa Fe and can't seem to adjust the head rests to move them further back. They seem to slant towards the front of the car which is hard on the neck. I can move them up and down but not back. According to the manual I should be able to pull them forward and then they will snap back to the back position but that doesn't seem to work. Also , I'm not sure how far I can pull them forward.
View 24 Repliesive tried playing with the release button and no luck... do the rear headrests come out completely?
